Great for pre theater. Food and service was fine but the price was fairly high for what we got. But all the restaurants in the theater district are over priced.

Great food & a good Wine List-affordable &diverse.A great place for friends from out of town, with actors,directors, eyc. As a Theatre aficianado,we enjoy telling friends who's who & what they've done. My partner wrote for the stage & spent 28 years for Daytime &,while Parker Posey was in Lanford Wilson's "Boook Of Days" at the Signature Theatre,she spotted John & came over to take over to the bar to chat. (He wrote the character of Tess.

A pre-theatre lunch was acceptable. My quesadillas were greasy but my husband's sliced steak fared better. Everything was freshly made--just not exciting. The service was pleasant and attentive. I doubt if I would return. There are better places to eat in the theatre district. The current 20 point food rating is high. I wouldn't give it more than 18.

A terrific hangout before or after going to see a show either on theatre row or on broadway. Located on the ground floor of Manhattan Plaza where many actors and artists live so you may well see some familiar faces.
